As we approach the end of the term, it is time to return any overdue library books.

Secondary students will be sent emails with a list of what needs to be returned. Junior College students will need to check with Mrs Trappett on what needs to be returned. Alternatively, you can email or call either library to find out what your student has outstanding.

Readers are no longer recorded through the library system. Please check with your classroom teacher if you have any questions about readers.

Secondary College chargers

The library has a limited number of universal laptop chargers available for use in emergencies. Lately we have seen an increase in students relying on these chargers to keep their laptops going throughout the school day. Could I please ask that students come to school with a charger if they know their laptops will not last for the day? These chargers should be labelled with the student’s name.

With our new Junior College now up and operating, we would like to remind families that all enquiries relating to the Junior College can be directed to our dedicated email address:

For any questions, administration matters, student absences, or general communication relating to the Junior College, please contact: adminjc@concordia.qld.edu.au

Using this email address will help ensure that your enquiries are directed to the appropriate staff members and responded to as efficiently as possible.

Thank you for your continued support as we settle into our new Junior College. We are excited to see our students thriving in their new learning environment and look forward to the opportunities this new chapter brings for our school community.

Start your day with a story!

The library is excited to introduce the Rise & Read Club offering students the opportunity to start their day off right - with some reading time, of course. Starting in Week 7 (Book Week!), students will be offered the chance to come along to the library and find a cosy reading spot under the Library Tree, do some extra returns and borrowing or even learn more about our collections, our online catalogue and how to find their next great read with some help from Mrs Trappett.

Parents are welcome to drop their child/ren off to the library and continue with their day or they can stay for the morning and soak up the book joy with their child/ren. Please bring an umbrella for the wet weather.

Here's what you need to know:

Day/Time - 7.45am every Wednesday Morning
Where - JC Library at WSC
Supervision - 2 Staff Members will be on site for supervision
Logistics - Parents can drop their students to the Library and sign them in with one of the staff members. The students will then be walked over to the JC by staff in time for the beginning of the school day.

Please click on the below link to add your bookworm to the club. Numbers are limited so make sure you get in quick!

Rise & Read Club

We would love your help on Grandparent's Day to either provide a plate of food for morning tea and/or help set up and serve.
Click here to register your interest.

Please find below the list of food suggestions for each year level to bring for children and grandparents to share for morning tea:

Prep – Sandwiches
Year 1 - Fruit Platter
Year 2 – Cold Savoury
Year 3 – Sandwiches
Year 4 – Biscuits/Slices/Cakes
Year 5 – Cold Savoury
Year 6 - Biscuits/Slices/Cakes

Please be aware that we have a number of students at the Junior College with severe nut and egg allergies. To help us provide a safe environment for all students, we kindly ask that food brought along for Grandparents Day does not contain nuts, boiled eggs, mayonnaise, or other obvious egg-based ingredients.

As we do not have the facilities to reheat food, any savoury items should be suitable to be served cold.

We would also appreciate food being brought in disposable plates or containers to assist with the smooth clean-up of the event.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we work together to keep all members of our community safe while enjoying this special celebration.

Our students from Prep to Year 2 will commence their swimming lessons at the Concordia Aquatic Centre (CAQ) this term. They will participate in five lessons, across Week 9 and Week 10. 

Please ensure that students have the following items:

• Warm clothing - this would be great for the students to wear to and from the pool as we don't know what the weather is going to be like
• Swimming togs
• Goggles
• House Swimming Cap (Compulsory) - available for purchase from the College Uniform Shop
• Towel

To avoid any lost items, please clearly label all of your child's items including their shoes, underwear and uniform.

We warmly invite you to join us on Tuesday 15 September from 4pm to 6pm to explore our classrooms and celebrate the learning that has taken place over the past term/semester.

Families and visitors are welcome to stay for as little or as long as you wish and visit as many classrooms as you choose. This evening is always a special highlight for students as they proudly share their learning journey with you.

We look forward to welcoming you on the night.

As a thank you for a wonderful term, the JC Performance Choir is invited to enjoy a social game of bowling during the middle session on Thursday 17 September (the second last day of Term 3).

We are excited to share that our Year 5 students will be participating in the Toastmasters Youth Program, a world-renowned platform designed to help young people build confidence, develop leadership skills, and become effective communicators—all in a fun and supportive environment! Introducing Year 5 students to Toastmasters can build foundational leadership skills that they can use throughout their academic and social lives.

The college will cover the cost of this program for our students. The skills learnt will then enhance their leadership applications and speeches later in Term 4.

For more information about the program, click here.
